Jungle Cruise Returns at Disney World as Disneyland Sets Open-Ended Refurbishment

An open-ended February refurbishment in Anaheim heightens uncertainty for visitors during a stretch of other planned closures.

Overview

  • At Magic Kingdom, Jungle Cruise quietly reverted to its pre-holiday version this week after the Jingle Cruise run from early November into early January.
  • Disneyland’s Jungle Cruise is listed to close for refurbishment starting in mid-February 2026, with no reopening date on the calendar.
  • Disney has described the Anaheim closure as maintenance, and reports note no sign of major creative changes despite the open-ended timeline.
  • The February stretch is expected to see additional downtime for “it’s a small world” and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, concentrating multiple closures for visitors.
  • The switch back to the classic ride serves as a post-holiday milestone for many guests and reflects how seasonal overlays shape the parks’ winter rhythm.
